What is Your Primary Crash?

[gonefishin]

Cool thread ,what a broad range of replies.........Zildjian, 15" A Custom for me .

[pastor_bob]

My primary crash would be my 18" Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash, but coming in a very close second would be my 16" Zildjian A Custom Crash.

I see you love fast crashes too pb!

[scorch whammin]

Mine would be a 17" sabian HHX evolution crash.

[Eyedrum]

I use either a Zildjian K Custom 17 inch Dark crash or a Zildjian K Custom Med. Thin 18 inch crash.

[R Fire]

16" Z Custom

[ludwigkid]

Ummmm well I would say my 18" Meinl HCS considering it's the only crash I have. Frankly hi-hats don't crash very well either. O_O

[DamageDrummer]

very good thread: 18" paiste alpha that took me 3 trips to guitar center until i found the right one.... it sounds amazing!

I like how they get the job done, and then get out of the way.

My primary is a 15" Stagg DH Classic....just bought a couple of Stagg cymbals in the past couple of months.....I have found them to be rather pleasing to the ears (and the wallet)....they work out very well for now....

18" Zildjian Z Custom Medium Crash!!

Loud and Very Musical

[The Chazbo]

I have two crashes...a 15" Stagg DH on my left and a 16" Stagg DH on my right. They compliment each other and my kit perfectly

[shoedaddy]

Paiste Signature 18" Full Crash or Sabian HHX 18" Evolution. I'm thinking of getting a 19" HHX-plosion crash for a main crash when I use my Sabians for louder shows.

[Reindeer]

My ZBT 16" Crash sounds brilliant, and my 18" ZBT stacked on my Sabian 18" Chinese signature is like my hi-hat from hell. I'd actually like another crash, but not a ZBT, besides, my 18" ZBT has a crack in it now.

My 2 favorites are my 15" Zildjian A Custom and my 16" Zildjian A.

Go figure cuz I love my Sabian Paragon 14" hats, 22" Paragon ride and 10" Paragon splash. Oh wait, was that too much information?

Pics or it didn't happen

[rmandelbaum]

I have 3, all vinatge Zildjian A. 15" thin and two 16" med. the two 16s may be the same size but they have different pitches and really sound great together.

[mainedrummah]

Mines a vintage Zildijian as well, 18". My only crash, actually. I have a crash/ride that came with my friends kit that I use, cuz he doesn't play anymore.

[ironfist]

18" Sabian AAXplosion

[l_e_i_g_h]

What happened? Was it the lack of 'big sounds' that the usual crash (no matter what size) could offer?

Or is it the darkness of 20 rides...and their crashability?

My crash is my 20 ride...
I'm over crashes.

[eddytanhh]

i now mostly crash on my 20" zildjian planet z ride cymbal
and sometimes on open planet z hihat
when i started i used to crash on my 18" pearl crash ride
but i do not crash on it anymore now
from just listening to my old recording
my mother would point it out as
"that is the most ugly sound"
currently these 3 cymbal are what i been using
and do not have a real crash cymbal

[RickyT]

My primary crash is a Zildjian 16" medium thin crash.

[mapexmetal351]

i use a 17" zildjian A series medium thin crash for my primary crash. i use my 17" zildjian armand series medium thin crash for "riding" (yea im in a metal band). its a really goood riding crash and it compliments my A series wonderfully.

[Little Roober]

16" Sabian paragon crash. Secondary, is my 18" AA Rock Crash.

[keysanddrums]

I have a 16 inch Zildjian A Custom as my main crash, but I also use a 18 inch A custom almost as much.
